Bottom-up or Top-down #validation?
What do these scenarios mean for #GÉANT & the #NRENs?
According to our CCO Cathrin Stöver @cathrin "The balance is in the middle, and organisations such as GÉANT need to meet the requirements of the bottom-up – absolutely reliable services with continuity – and the top-down – allowing for a level of vision and oversight, including trends, changing politics, and policies."

Thanks to multi-domain shared #spectrum, the Italian #research & #education network #GARR and the pan-European network @geant have successfully connected two data centres over 1000 km apart: the national computing centre CNAF of #INFN in Bologna, and #CERN in Geneva, with a capacity of 1.6 Tbps and a latency of just 9.5 ms: https://connect.geant.org/2023/09/05/from-geneva-to-bologna-in-9-5-milliseconds
The new #GÉANT #Security Operations Centre (SOC) is now up and running!
We met with Tony Barber, Head of the GÉANT Operations Centre, to talk about the recently launched GÉANT SOC, the requirements and the process that led to the set-up of this necessary resource for the #GÉANT #network and community, along with the benefits it will bring. https://connect.geant.org/2023/08/29/geant-security-operation-centre-a-vital-resource-for-the-international-re-community

#TNC23 Closing - GÉANT CEO Erik Huizer:
"Last year we formally launched our new fully redundant #GÉANTnetwork, connecting 43 countries in Europe.
Based on fiber or spectrum this allows flexibility & capacity required by researchers and #research collaborations"
2023 is a busy and ambitious final year for GN4-3N, the project delivering the next-generation #GÉANTnetwork!
Current status:
>20,000km of dark #fibre or #spectrum lit 26 countries connected 42 routes fully deployed
Much more to come!

https://connect.geant.org/connect42
As a result of the GN4-3N project, the new GÉANT Managed Wavelength Service is the first new #network service delivered in GN5-1!
The service will benefit users with extreme #networking demands, by providing dedicated, transparent #connectivity between any two #GÉANT PoPs on the dark fibre network.
The new #GÉANTnetwork dramatically reduces costs of such ultra-high speed services in support of trans-European collab. in areas such as #HPC services and advanced #research
